I am sure there is something either witty or insightful (or both!) to be said about the fact we are playing the Detroit Red Wings, but right now I am drowning in the Sea of Three Thanksgiving Dinners, so a half-assed Photoshop job will have to do. I will see you guys when I get to the other side of the Straights of Starchy Vegetables.

Despite the outcome, I have to say that there was cause to be hopeful. Mike's right. Every time the cameras panned the Detroit bench, it was pretty obvious how far good management, decent budget and a dedication to winning can take you.

Still, the Oilers are wicked fast with tons of potential. This experiment will either go down the shitter by Christmas, or we're in for something special.

I thought the Oilers looked good - certainly not like a team that's going to finish in the bottom 5 in the league. Grebeshkov looked solid making the first pass out of the zone I have to say. I'll take two wins, then a loss all year long.
